EDMUND S. CHURCH, CF DAYTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE NATIONAL CASH REGISTER- COMPANY, OF DAYTON, OHIO, ACORPOR-A'IION OF OHIO` (INCORPORATED IN 1906.)

CASH AND CREDIT REGISTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

'lpplication filed January 24, 1910. Serial No. 539,834.

To all 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, EDMUND S. CHURCH, .a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, inthe county of Montgomery vand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash and Credit Registers, of which l declare the-foilcwing to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.

This invention vrelates to cash registers and 1t is'herein shownY embodied' in a ma.- ch1ne adapted for such uses as are required by department stores. v

The machine is intended to be. operated by a cashier and performs the following work: The amount of each registration is added totive detachable accumulating dc*- `vicesis printed upon a detail strip and is also printed upon an original and duplicate sales slip.v Separate detachable accuinulat` ing devices are provided foi-'cach cashier and for each clerk. When a sale made the clerk vwho has the. transact-ion in charge writes thel .required memorandum of theV sale upon one of the usual sales slips. The sales slips are double and carbon is placed betweenfthe two halves oftheslip so that the record 'will appear both on the original and the duplicate.` The part of the. eriginal slip which receives the written record is then torn from the remainder of the slip and kept by the clerk-as a memorandum of the sale. 'The clerk then hands the Slip together with his detachable accumulating device to the cashier. The cashier sets up the amount of the transaction upon the keyboard. inserts the. clerlis accumulating device into the machine and also` places the` sales sllp in the sales slip printer. The

cashier then depresses a motor' kcyand the driving mechanism is operated, this operation causingthe amount which is set up on the keyboard tc be. transferred to the clerlcs accumulating device and to the cashiers accumulating device., which latter device is inserted into the machine at the time theV cashier cernes on dut-y. Simultaneously with transferring the amount of the transaction to the-cashiers and vclerks accumulating devices the detail record is printed' upon a paperribbon 'which the machine contains and the sales slip receives a printed record of the transaction in duplicate, The matter which is printed upon the det-ail strip includes the clerlrs identifying number,

which number is set up by means of blades of different lengths carried by the cle'rks accumulating device; the cashiers identifying characters which are similarly determined by slides carried by the cashiers ac cumulator; the amount of the sale; the classv present machine. is not provided with means for resetting the ldetachable accumulating' devices nor is it provided with. means for ascertaining the totals which have been accumulated by these devices. For tliiS rcitscrz this invention is part of' an accounting tem which, to be complete, requires auratentea ren. 1,1916.

the d lv:xchable accumulators Such-auditing deiices are described` in the following tivo United States patent applications: Ed-v mund Church-auditing machine for detachable accounting devices, Serial No. 570,389. Edmund S. Church-#reading and resetting device for detachable accounting devices, Serial No. 570,388. l

From the above outline it rea-dil"lv may be seen that b v this invention, from the fact that each clerk has possession of his accumulating device, there is little danger of the cashier making errors incausing regis-` trations to be madedn the Wrong accumulating' devices, similarly each cashier is in pos-A session o his accumulating device which is supposed to be in the'machineonly during` the time the. cashier is en duty.'

The machine is provided with interlock- `ing,r devices which prevent the operation of the machine. until `both a vcashiers and a clerlis' entry retaining device are in the machine.

The 'general objects of .the invention may be understood from the cregoing.
